Sweet senior stray cat chooses to adopt herself into a family’s life by slipping into their home during grocery run, demanding food, new pawrent says: ‘I believe that she looks like a furry potato, and insisted that be her name.’

The introduction of any stray cat into a fur family home is one to be celebrated jovially. But one would most certainly argue that in the case that the stray cat is old and has somehow managed to maintain a life on the streets for so long without falling into ill health, the celebration should be ten-fold. But today we have a story of exactly such a cat who's new family, while incredibly happy and heartwarmed to have her, seemed to be overall rather ambivalent about the whole thing.

Beginning with their casual trip with the stray to the vet, something which would usually require days of trapping attempts and scratched arms. Then how casually the cat just waltzed into their home and claimed it as her own, without asking, being invited in or even coerced in any way. And then simply finding herself as a part of said family home with nery an issue. And just to add to all the wholesomeness this happened around the new year, making for a marvelous start to the year. What more could a cat lover want out of a new year resolution?

We love just how matter of fact all this part of the story is. Like yeah we just happen to have an old scraggly stray cat hanging around our house. So just casually we decided to take it to the vet to see whats up with it and then upon being sure that it is a stray in decent health and condition for a stray, we are going to buy the stray a bunch of stuff. As though all of this stuff just happens every day. While at the same time this was likely the stray’s best day of life ever.

Seriously, who is this cat version of the Doolittle family? We are losing it! For most people and even more so for cat lovers, these kinds of moments and events are mind bending. We get so excited by every little moment. The first time the nervous stray explores the house. The gentle signs that they are using the litter box and eating while we are asleep. And finally the grand moment that the cat reveals itself to you while you are awake, confirming its state of comfort in your home. It is as though this family has gone through this a million times and this is just old hat for them at this point.
